Scuola, Ciccozzi: “In the classroom without an experiment mask, check in 20 days”

“We decided to take off the mask at school and now let’s see what happens, it’s a sort of experiment which, however, requires an epidemiological check in 20 days. Let’s remember that the problem is not the children but the fact that at home they may have fragile family members and very old grandparents. They will all be vaccinated but some degree of risk remains. ” So at Adnkronos Health Massimo Ciccozzi, head of the Medical Statistics and Epidemiology Unit of the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery of the Bio-Medico Campus of Rome, spoke on what was stated yesterday by the infectious specialist Matteo Bassetti (” at school, I take to the streets with the boys “). Read also “Let’s say that with the new school protocol we have calculated risks but there is always a certain degree of unpredictability in Covid – adds Ciccozzi – I don’t think we will have a peak of 100 thousand cases in the autumn, but there will still be moments of the contagions that will be managed, which is why I say that it is also okay to remove the mask at school but you always need prudence and the ability of epidemiological analysis to prevent the situation from getting out of hand “.
